The phrase is "by mistake", as two words. It means to do an action unintentionally.

Examples:


By mistake, I handed the policeman my credit card instead of my driver's license.


I put a cup of salt in the cake batter by mistake when I meant to add a cup of sugar.


Intending to douse my enemy with cold water, by mistake I drenched my best friend.


"You tripped me on purpose," he yelled. "No," I quickly explained, "it was by mistake! I was just stretching my legs!"
